is said to be overrun with woodchucks or
ground hogs to such an extent that the
farmers are seriously discussing WAYS
and means of extermInating them. They
have played havoc with the corn and
pumpkins. and now that food is getting
scarce, 1t is said that many of the young
woodchucks are dying OF starvation.
Ground hog meat is regarded as letter
than rabbit or squirrel meat, and plenty
OF men and boys are hunting them with
dogs, rife or shotgune, lut the willy little
rodents are as cunning as foxes, and they
seldom offer an opportunity Tor fair
shot. 1t is absolutely impossible to dig a
woodchuck out of mis- mole, and he laughs
at any attempt to dislodge him with
smoke or sulphur fumes. When snugly
intreDched in his hole he will easily rout
any dog small enough to enter his front
door. A ferret must be very plucky to
attack him.
One hunter living near High Point has

concealed himself in the bushes and saw

Of tbe mill with bis rifle. Before many
minutes woOdchuck popped out OF one
OF the bOles and fearlessly ran toward the

chuck turned a somersault and lay kick

the same thing occurred again.
Markley spoke 10 the old hunter
then, and complimented him upon his
scheme.
The old man said that woodchuck
